Your numbers, simply compared

Why isn't my YouTube video getting views?

Usually it's one of three things: the topic isn't what your viewers want, the title and thumbnail don't get clicks, or people leave early. MakeNext compares each video with your own channel's average so you can see which one it is — and what to make next instead.

Example

Sample

Example: a small Shorts channel

Your usual Short: 398 views in the first week
🔥 "Stone Shrine" — 2.9× your average
🧊 Bridge builds — 0.5× your average
⏱ Shorts over 60 s do best for you

The three usual reasons

Look at them in this order — each one points to a different fix:

Topic: similar videos on your channel also did below your average → make more of what beats it
Packaging: few people click the thumbnail/title → test a clearer title and thumbnail
Retention: people leave in the first seconds → show the payoff first

Compare with yourself, not with big channels

Comparing with a channel 100× your size tells you little. MakeNext only compares your videos with your own average, using YouTube's numbers, and labels every comparison as our calculation — it's not a YouTube metric and never uses revenue data.

Good to know

Past numbers show what worked, not a promise of views. You need a few videos before averages mean anything (we wait for at least 3).
